Why does electrical energy from the fossil fuel power stations originally came from the Sun?

Oil and natural gas was created from the remains of microscopic organisms that lived in Earth's oceans millions of years ago. Heat and pressure gradually turned these ancient organisms into oil and natural gas. Coal was formed by a similar process from the remains of ancient plants that once lived on land.

What is a device that changes energy from the sun into electrical energy?
fossil fules
How much more expensive is solar energy than fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel power stations typically cost about $2.1 dollars per watt to build solar stations around $7 at present. The efficiency is increasing and costs are falling. This of course does not represent the cost to the consumer. In addition it does not take into account all the various other costs and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Fuel (fossil stations), poor sunlight (solar stations). Maintenance costs are similar for single plants but solar stations do not have the capacity of fossil fuel stations.
How does hydroelectricity create energy from water power?
Water flowing through a turbine which is connected to an electric generator converts the water power to electrical energy. Electrical energy generated this way is known as hydroelecticity to differentiate it from electrical energy generated by other means, such as wind power, solar power, fossil fuels or nuclear fuels.
How can geothermal energy be converted to electrical energy?
The same way that burning fossil fuel is used to produce steam to turn an electrical generator. Geothermal heat from far beneath the ground is captured and used to turn a dynamo or turbine to generate electricity.
Why fossil and solar energy the same?
fossil energy is not same as solar energy. Fossil : Its a non renewable energy.but Solar is renewable Energy,its green and eco friendly
What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
What is the source of power for turbines in electrical power stations?
Turbines are driven by steam so it is thermodynamic energy, but that can be created by burning fossil fuels or by nuclear fission
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
Which fossil fuel is not used in Singapore's power stations?
It is coal. Singapore's power stations are not based on coal fossil fuel.Singapore has no indigenous energy resources, and is dependent on energy imports to support her overall energy needs.
What is the chemical energy in fossil fuels often converted into?
electrical energy....
What is a device that changes energy from the sun into electrical energy?
fossil fules
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from where?
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun.
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
What fossil fuels originally got their energy from?
plants and animals
Fossil fuels actually got their energy originally from what?
bones
Is it true that power plant that uses fossil fuels transforms chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Yes it is true that a power plant that uses fossil fuels transforms chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
